This system is obsoleted for its initial purpose, but it is perfect as a set of basic topic lists for beginners who may be intimidated by the comprehensive lists typically available. The only problem is that these basic topic lists are in wikispace rather than in the wikipedia proper. It is time for us to convert each of the following subpages to a List page as follows:

1) Create a new page called "List of basic _________ topics", filling the blank with the relevant subject. For example "Wikipedia: Philosophy basic topics" becomes "List of basic philosophical topics". (Note that clicking on either leads to the latter).

2) Move the content of the corresponding subpage to the new List you just created (blanking out the subpage in the process), and place a redirect in the subpage to the List.

3) Remove any administrative prose from the previous project from the new List. And spruce up the list as much as you like. See List of basic philosophical topics as an example.

4) Change the corresponding link below (on this page) to the new List. (This has already been done for philosophy).

5) Integrate the list into the Wikipedia, by adding categories to the List, and by adding links in relevant articles, portals, lists, and templates.

Once these steps have been completed for all of the subpages below, then the above steps need to be performed on this page.

Philosophy, Mathematics, and Natural Science

List of astronomical topics - Wikipedia:Biochemistry basic topics - Wikipedia:Biology basic topics - Wikipedia:Chemistry basic topics - Earth Sciences basic topics - Wikipedia:Mathematics basic topics - List of basic philosophical topics - Wikipedia:Physics basic topics - Wikipedia:Statistics basic topics

+This system is obsoleted for its initial purpose, but it is perfect as a set of basic topic lists for beginners who may be intimidated by the comprehensive lists typically available.  The only problem is that these basic topic lists are in wikispace rather than in the wikipedia proper.  It is time for us to convert each of the following subpages to a List page as follows:
-'''(1) Identify a broad area about which you know a lot.  (2) Pick out topics in that area that are, in your opinion, among the most important and add them to the appropriate "basic topics" page. Be pretty selective, because we want to know what the ''most basic'' articles in a field are.)'''
+) Create a new page called "List of basic _________ topics", filling the blank with the relevant subject.  For example "[[Wikipedia: Philosophy basic topics]]" becomes "[[List of basic philosophical topics]]".  (Note that clicking on either leads to the latter).
-So, why do this?  To get a good idea of what blanks we need to fill in--hopefully, this will focus a good number of people on the task of writing about those topics.  We'll discover a lot of exciting topics that no one has touched yet, and get to work on them.  This will increase traffic to the website and make it a lot more useful.
+) Move the content of the corresponding subpage to the new List you just created (blanking out the subpage in the process), and place a redirect in the subpage to the List.
+) Remove any administrative prose from the previous project from the new List.  And spruce up the list as much as you like.  See [[List of basic philosophical topics]] as an example.
+) Change the corresponding link below (on this page) to the new List.  (This has already been done for philosophy).
+) Integrate the list into the Wikipedia, by adding categories to the List, and by adding links in relevant articles, portals, lists, and templates.
+Once these steps have been completed for all of the subpages below, then the above steps need to be performed on ''this page''.
